How to Root Samsung Galaxy S20/S20+/S20 Ultra/Note 20 - Magisk - Full Video Guide

Hello everyone,

Here is a complete video guide of a method I devised for rooting the Galaxy S20 (or any other Exynos-based S20 such as the S20+ & S20 Ultra & Note 20) and installing Magisk onto it.

Just make sure you follow all the steps in the correct order and that you don't skip any!!

Also, make sure you download the correct firmware file for your device variant (you can find out which one you have by using the Phone Info app from the Play Store).

It works only on Exynos-powered S20 devices (S20 - S20+ - S20 Ultra including all 5G versions), not on Snapdragon versions.

Happy flashing!

Stay tuned to my channel for more exciting videos with the S20 as the main actor. Enjoy!

Thanks! Great stuff! It would be great if you make a tutorial on how to update the latest patches without losing the data.

Confirmed in 2024. I've just did it on my S20 FE (Model is SM-G780F/DS) and Android 13. Excellent tutorial!

⏩ Hey Mike, what exactly is different with a Galaxy S20 FE 5G (Snapdragon) when it comes to rooting? Is there any possibility to make an extension video for this? You'd really save me with that 🙌🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼

[CozmicClutz]

Believe what you want but this fucking worked, thanks bro

Hi Mike thanks a lot for the video! Just a quick question: I'm aiming to root my device in order to use a phone recovery app that can do a deep scan on my s20's internal memory and hopefully recover the photo's I accidentally deleted (I deleted them in Windows Explorer on my laptop having my phone connected with usb as an external drive). In your video your mention files will be all gone after unlocking bootloader, so I was wondering: how does this affect the chance to find and recover the lost photo's after factory reset? Since that is exactly why I want to root the device in the first place. Thank you in advance!

OEM unlock option is not available(in developer options)...how can I fix it?

[TOnyM-ypxe]

i had a fail to flash magisk_patched.tar on odin cant open the serial COM port. On the phone its said custom binary(BOOT) blocked by OEM lock. please help

[jimmyk]

Great explanation at all! I'd like to ask that you're just patched the boot image and flashed it, in order to get root. I've flashed my galaxy tab a7 a week before and I had to flash the whole firmware to get root access. So is it not neccecary to flash the whole firmware for the s20 to get root access right?? Best regards.
